Swallows and Starling and Summer Skies
A field full of buttercups dance in delight
A warm summer breeze, so gentle and light
A carpet of yellow as far as one can see
Broken only by the odd lonely tree
Swallows swoop swiftly and swerve in the air
Flying in circles without any fear
Swift and agile they weave and they wind
Spiralling in a secret dance of some kind
Twittering in delight, like children at play
Twittering and chattering left out for the day
Delight and joyful their little hearts sing
Learning survival skills like hunting on the wing
Away in the distance, a kestrel cries out loud
It startles the starlings who take flight like a cloud
In a symphony of shadows they move as if one
Darkness and shadow dance against a bright sun
With flashes of iridescent blue and emerald green
A rainbow of colours can just be seen
Like a shimmering veil of silk so refined
Or a mirage, it’s images just barely defined
While swallows swoop swiftly and glide on the air
In the summer sky so blue and so clear
In a field of shimmering yellow and gold
Stand and be still, such beauty to behold
